Image Formation by Mirrors starts at 7 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Image Formation by Mirrors. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9
A concave mirror forms a real, inverted image of an object placed beyond its center of curvature. Where will the image be formed?
A dentist uses a mirror to see a magnified image of a tooth. Which type of mirror is being used?
Explain why a concave mirror can be used to focus sunlight to a point.
If an object is placed at infinity in front of a concave mirror, where is the image formed?
If an object is placed at the center of curvature of a concave mirror, what are the characteristics of the image formed?
A concave mirror forms an image that is twice the size of the object. If the object is placed 15 cm from the mirror, where is the image formed?
A dentist uses a mirror to see a magnified image of a tooth. Which type of mirror is being used?

A convex mirror is also known as a ________ mirror.
The center of curvature of a spherical mirror is the center of the ________ of which the mirror is a part.
The distance between the object and the mirror is called the ________ distance.
The image formed by a convex mirror is always located ________ the mirror.
True or False: A plane mirror always forms an image that is the same size as the object.
True or False: The image formed by a concave mirror can be both real and virtual depending on the position of the object.
True or False: The image formed by a concave mirror is always real.
True or False: The image formed by a convex mirror can be real if the object is placed very close to the mirror.
